What is the purpose of the staggered piston sizes in this caliper?

The staggered piston arrangement helps to distribute braking force evenly across the brake pad. This design reduces pad taper and ensures more consistent contact with the rotor, leading to improved braking performance and longer pad life.

What does the 'DS' in AERO6-DS stand for?

The 'DS' in AERO6-DS signifies that this caliper is equipped with dust seals. These seals are important for protecting the caliper pistons and bores from dirt, dust, and moisture, which helps maintain optimal performance and extend the caliper's lifespan.

What thickness of brake rotor is this caliper designed for?

This Wilwood AERO6-DS caliper is specifically designed to accommodate brake rotors that are 1.25 inches thick. Ensure your rotor choice matches this specification for proper fitment and function.
